I just said during my race yesterday that I'm starting to question my sanity and why I keep running.<br /><br />And then I remember that I'm addicted. I've decided I'm over the marathon distance. I'm just not interested in it. I think 2013 I'll just mix it up and stick to "short" with half marathons, and then toss in a few 5 and 10Ks just to keep it interesting!<br /><br />I'm always in awe of you. Those distances that you not only consider but then go and DO?? Yeah, it frightens me. You're pretty darn awesome!!Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-61157273070605718782012-10-28T15:36:50.358-06:002012-10-28T15:36:50.358-06:00I will always join you for a trail run. Let me kno...I will always join you for a trail run. Let me know which 50k you are looking into! That could be a new goal for me if I EVER kick this fricking plantar fasciitis CRAP. Hope you had a great MCM weekend! You had a serious look alike at the Eerie Erie yesterday. She was your size, had your hair, had her running skirt on, and the wonder woman cape and outfit that you have. After the race I was like "Rebecca!"... no answer... "Rebecca Walker!"... no answer. Weird. I knew if it was you, you would have said hi. Then the more I looked at her I realized it really wasn't you. Nevertheless, I chased that blue cape for 6 miles (thinking we could chat during the race) and never caught it. Ha!

I wanted to see you rock it out! But it is a huge undertaking and if it doesn't jibe with your life or desires at this point - there is no reason to do it. There are too many other fun goals to set!<br /><br />I still have it as a goal. It will just have to be longer term for me. I won't be able to train with two toddlers. I am lucky though, that when I decide to do it we have a great trail/ultra community here that pretty much takes care of a lot of the reasons that training didn't work for you. I would have imagined that with all the trail races and beautiful scenery in CO the community would be great. Maybe the relatively small community size in Atlanta helps.keyalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706394687703975927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-1148913222580527532012-10-22T11:42:39.840-06:002012-10-22T11:42:39.840-06:00Doing all half marathons in CO is a great idea!!! ...Doing all half marathons in CO is a great idea!!!
